Could new testing be allowed, or will the execution move forward despite lingering doubts? We also take a deeper look at Florida’s death penalty system, including how rare it is for the courts to intervene at this stage, the role of evolving DNA technology, and the ongoing debate over fairness and wrongful convictions.
